About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at KiNZ Mission Heights, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My 2 y.o loves going to kindergarten. The teachers are kind, caring, and engaging with the children. The kindergarten is spacious with a big sandpit for the children to play in and a beautiful Mara Kai (food garden). My son has grown in confidence by heaps. Even though the location is a bit far away from us, we still think it's worth the trip. Thanks KiNZ Mission Heights.”

“My son is in Kinz since 2017 and we were very happy with his progress. It is interesting to know how the teachers are encouraging our children to know their background(ethnicity) , because of this my son Francis is very keen to learn our language(twi). He comes home from daycare asking more about our country Ghana and ask me to teach him the language. He tells me " mummy am from Ghana and wants to be the king of Ghana. Oh i cannot say how proud that makes me. It is important for us migrants to teach our children about our ethnicity, so they do not forget where we came from. Kinz teachers , I salute you for doing such a great job. Please keep it up. Sackitey Family .”

“I had 2 children attend Kinz mission heights from 2013 to 2018 and it was a very happy 5 years. My children were treated wonderfully and left confident and having a vast vocabulary for their ages. Kinz always focussed on running with the children’s interests and helping them learn about a subject in a fun and interesting way. Focus on environmental subjects always impressed me and I was amazed with how much my kids absorbed and could chat about. Lovely staff and a safe environment for kids. :-)”

“We recently moved to the Auckland from the Christchurch and we were so excited to find the best kindergarten for our son throughout our area. finally, we found one of the best kindergarten centers in the Auckland named KINZ mission Heights. As the center was new to us, we were a bit nervous to leave our son in the new place. But after talking to the center manager Sangeetha Lal and the teachers it gave us confidence that my child will be able to settle with his new environment. on the very first day, u all welcomed us into your center with a lovely smile and took us through the center facilities and procedures which made a trustworthy feeling about the place more. surprisingly, Aavin was able to settle within a short period and now he feels like he found his second home with lots of learning facilities, cleanliness, spaciousness and friendly teachers and lovely friends. I really appreciate the services you provide to our little son Aavin. Also, appreciate the teachers who always doing excellent work to make our son be comfortable in their hands. We are extremely lucky to find your kindergarten centre with the best facilities, which create an interest in children to learn. Thank you for creating an environment where kids can grow up with learning and other fun activities towards their future.”
